Who has converted regular doors into a t-top door???

Coolbreeze · 03-02-2002, 12:37 PM

I am about to buy a complete 89LX that was hit in the front and the insurance company totaled it. It has alot of parts I could use plus, I was wondering if the doors could be converted into a T-top door for my 86GT. If any one has done this, what is involved???

If you really want to have a temper tantrum you should try..... It is a HELL job!!!!!!!!! You have so many differences to deal with ... Like .....Glass is different,mirror diff,power doors?more problems...T-top and rag top doors have a riveted 1/8 steel panel on the bottom front of the door,rag and T-top have alignment pins by the door handle in the jam. Trust me you don't want to do this! I tried and tried. I ended up shelling out the $1000. for new used ones.

Coolbreeze,
If you really need some T-top doors, I've got a friend that has a wrecked 85GT T-Top car that he's parting out and last I checked, he still had the doors. His car was hit from behind and even though he drove it home, they totaled it out because the t-tops were broken. The damn T-Tops are hard to find and so expensive nowadays, they just totaled it out because the T-Tops alone were the estimated value of the car. I don't know if there's a difference in 85 and 86 though, probably not. His doors are in perfect shape. If you need them, shoot me a PM, and I'll give him a call and see if he still has them.
